A little note I wanted to write down several years ago. Finally done.
HN Skins 0.4.0 is out.
This small update fixes the rendering of the commemorative black bar that Hacker News sometimes displays when a notable figure in technology or science passes away.
I realised the issue today after HN placed a black bar following the news of Tony Hoare's passing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47324054
That prompted me to investigate the issue and implement the fix in this release.

Simplified my blogroll a bit. It is no longer a periodically updated list of posts. It is now just a static list of websites. It may sound like a step backward but it removes a few moving parts and simplifies the website setup.
My blogroll is perhaps the only page on my website where every link is purple for me. I visit them all.
There is also an OPML file at the end that provides a feed of all the websites in my blogroll.
HN Skins 0.3.0 is out.
This update fixes a few small issues from earlier releases, improves comment textbox font consistency and makes visited links easier to distinguish. Also renames two skins: Teletype → Courier and Nox → Midnight.
Screenshot of the Courier skin attached to this post.

Bits and pieces of stuff I came across last month. Turns out that last month all of it was about algebraic graph theory.
HN Skins 0.2.0 is out.
This is a minor update a day after its initial release to fine tune a few style issues. It removes extra space below 'reply' links, sorts skins alphabetically and fixes the 'Terminal' theme's navigation bar colour.
A screenshot of the 'Terminal' theme is included in this post. To view more screenshots or install the tool, visit <https://github.com/susam/hnskins#readme>.
